The Ghoulish Giveaway!!

If you ask the right people, Halloween is not just a holiday or a time of year. It’s a way of life! It’s a deep appreciation for all things creepy and scary! While I may be bubbly and wear pink on a regular basis, I also watch the Addams Family Movies at least once a month (I also own the DVDs for every season of the TV show) and LOVE scary movies. I appreciate the morbid humor of Beetlejuice and the twisted poems of Edgar Allen Poe. Not to mention that The Haunted Mansion is my favorite Disney World ride. I know I’m not the only one.

The Tellingby Alexandra Sirowy

A chilling new novel about a girl who must delve into her past if she wants to live long enough to have a future when a series of murders that are eerily similar to the dark stories her brother used to tell start happening in her hometown.

Diary of a Hauntingby M. Verano

In the tradition of Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project, an American teen recounts the strange events that occur after she moves into a new—and very haunted—home with her family in this chilling diary that features photos and images of what she experienced.

The Beast is an Animalby Peternelle van Arsdale

A girl with a secret talent must save her village from the encroaching darkness in this haunting and deeply satisfying tale.

I truly am not loving horror. But i gave it a shot or two and truthfully it’s not too bad as long as the horror is mild. But I stay out of horror as much as I can! Hahahhaha! I did like reading the Cirque du Freak series! I’m not sure that’s horror but I think it’s quite scary especially with some of the gory details.

Favorite scary book would have to be the haunting of hill house by Shirley jackson. Picking my favorite scary movie is hard but I’d have to say Night of the Living dead. But as for movies that scare me there are only two: the exorcist and the grudge, I don’t frighten easily but those two really freak me out.

One of my favorite scary books is The Fall by Bethany Griffin. I think she does a wonderful job taking an iconic story like Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher” and retells it with a more in-depth and spooky take in Madeline’s point of view.

My favorite horror movie might not be THAT famous, but right now, it is GRAVE ENCOUNTERS 2! And for a horror book? Err, I don’t know, I haven’t read one THAT good yet. Except for some H.P. Lovecraft stories.

My favorite scary book will always be the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series by Alvin Schwartz. It’s the perfect amount of scary for me, which is to say juvenile level lol. My favorite scary movie is a really old one called The Changling.

Okay…when I was in my teens I had a habit of reading my Mom’s books. To be honest, reading her old books was really what created my love of all things book, and though I now mainly read YA, the creepiest/scariest books I’ve ever read would have to be False Memory by Dean Koontz and Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi!

As for movies, when I was way to young IMO, I somehow ended up seeing The Exorcist and Poltergeist(the original versions)…let’s just say I am not a HUGE fan of scary movies anymore. LOL

My favorite scary book would have to be Frankenstein, but I do really want to read The Call. I think it sounds good.

Scary movie… I really can’t pick one. There are awesome classics like Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Halloween… and then newer ones like the conjuring and sinister… idk… I love the horror genre! I just can’t pick a favorite.

Favorite scary books…Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchinson, Lockdown by A G. Smith, and Skeleton Man by J. Bruchach. Favorite horror movies… Stakeland, Babadook (especially when the mom is trying to kick in the kid’s door), Nightmare on Elm Street (what if you ARE vulnerable in your dreams?), What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, and 28 Days Later (Cillian Murphy is awesome!)

my favorite scary movie is anything Tim Burton. I don’t have a favorite scary book. I’ve read so many good ones it’s hard to pick just one.. Diary of a Haunting has been on my “To Read” list so it would be awesome to win.
Happy Halloween! =)

I watched Audrey Hepburn in Wait Until Dark when I was a kid and it totally freaked me out. I see that there’s a like-minded soul who has already commented on this movie above. Given the movie, I thought I’d be the only one! Hooray for kindred spirits!

I thought One Was Lost by Natalie Richards was pretty scary and I just finished And the Trees Crept in by Dawn Kurtagich, definitely a creepy read! As far as movies go, Children of the Corn made me avoid cornfields for years, thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite scary books are always by Stephen King. The master of the frighteningly plausible human terror. Dreamcatcher and Salem’s Lots are two of my top scary books. I also thought The Troop by Nick Cutter was scary too!
